The Dog (Boy) La Nina (Miriam)

My yard here in Quetsaltenango(Xela)

Day number 3

Everything is going very well and the food is great. Today I had some fun with my family playing with the dog and having some good conversation. They have a little girl who is about 9 years old and we have made a connection. I am having one of the best times. The only thing keeping it from the absolute best is not having my family with me to enjoy this experience.

First Day of Class

The first day has been exciting. I have used more spanish than I thought I could, the instructors are very nice and help with almost everything a person could need. The markets are busy and the products are priced at incredibly low prices. I ate a huge breakfast this morning consiting of 4 eggs and beans, some water and coffee and then off to school.

Arrived

Yesterday I got to Guatemala City and stayed in a little hostel. The flight was great but long and the time went by so fast. Guatemala City is huge, I had no idea that it was so big. I got some sleep then took a taxi to the bus terminal to catch a bus to Quetsaltenango where the Spanish school is located. WOW the ride was long and the roads were very windy. Now im at the School and waiting for my family who I will be staying with to come and pick me up. Ill let you know what happens. Oh and ill upload some picks right away.
